Angry Rant #1: Speeding Kills?

Recently a friend of mine got sent a letter by the RTA stating that they had been caught speeding. Not only did they think that this was a total load of bullshit, but they knew they weren't due to the fact that they was staring at my speedometer as they was driving past the camera. SEE. Therein lies the problem - 

IF EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT THE SPEEDOS, HOW ARE THEY MAKING IT SAFER FOR DRIVERS?

Fact of the matter is that it isn't. People think that we get it tough here in New South Wales, but Victoria is speed camera central of World - of the World. The death toll in Victoria has actually RISEN in the past 5 years compared to the toll here in NSW. Of course population, driving conditions etc etc all come into play, but if everyone is not looking at the road, how safe could it possibly be? The State Government tells you that it's safer - but it's not. 

These newly placed "safety cameras" are nothing but blatant revenue raising for both (yes BOTH) the state governments and the private operators who control them. The private operators will be getting more funding, depending on the number of cars they pinch. In QLD now, the tolerance level is being reduced, so expect a fine in the mail if you're 2 or 3km/h over the limit. 

Don't believe what the government says - they don't care about your well being - they only care about the money that goes into their pocket at the end of day.

Don't believe the Lies and the Spin.
